The "Private Group" the manufacturer seems great
So why must you go through the 'private group' to deal with the manufacturer? Can a direct deal not be organised at the $4998 price?
Yes but it gets messy like this and the manufacturer does not want to do it. Which is very smart
So how did the 2 users form this forum get the ability to broker a deal?
It is not really brokering. They say they are going to buy 100. It appears they do not have the funds to cover the 100 units and want the community to cover it for them.
Now it makes more sense, yes shady to take nearly 1/4 of the stock without disclosing it.
Originally the numbers worked out for 20 units free but when Bittawn got involved the numbers changed to be 24 units. Makes me wonder if he is now involved with the "deal" and is getting the 4 extra free ones. You be the judge.
